I can tell you that I personally know multiple people who routinely make trips to the border to pick up immigrants and/or drugs.

I care.

You care that they not be allowed to do that anymore and that the utmost level of enforcement and surveying be put in place at all cost to stop them?

I think that's the part you need to expand on, because even if I knew 10 people who crossed the border for that stuff, I wouldn't really care that much.

So what makes you care so much, are there visible, arguably tractable second order effects resulting from this that I wouldn't be able to deny if I lived in Texas? And they're so bad to the Texan state that I'd too want this surveyed and enforced at all cost?

Do you also want to stop consuming Mexican food and manufacturing?

What does that have to do with illegal immigration and drug trafficking?

I’m personally impacted by the shipment delays. I currently await more than $250,000 worth of product ordered from Mexico, so questioning my motives with false equivalencies isn’t going to get anywhere.

I live in Texas. I don't care. This is just another political grandstanding to get back at Biden for repealing Title 42.

Or is it political grandstanding to repeal title 42?
